Now being reported in the New York Times that one of the pilots left the cockpit and was locked out.

Pilot suicide? With one of the pilots locked out of the flight deck. Shitty way to commit suicide taking 149 other people with you. If that is what happened.

Probably. Even if he suffered some kind of health emergency, the aircraft was in autopilot or supposed to be.
 
Tupolev of Russia designed 3% of the B787 airframe.
The titanium engine mounts for Airbus A-320 series airplanes are made in Russia.

So according to you, we shouldn't fly on these aircraft because the B787's airframe is going to collapse in the air and the engines are going to fall off Airbus airplanes.

Not to mention US astronauts who ride Soyuz rockets to the International Space Station ever month, it seems. Must be extremely dangerous compared to the Space Shuttle..... Oh Wait!

As for US made wings on Russian airplanes, total nonsense.

You are a fricken dick head.

I said none of what you spewed above, except the FACT about major components on the plane I flew on,...as I said quite a while back.

Boeing has had a relationship with Russia for over 20 years,...and to say that planes are not assembled from major components sourced from different manufactures, confirms you run off at the mouth about things you know NOTHING about.
You have know way of knowing otherwise,...and I'm not going to waste time researching proof for an idiot

This was at a time when Ilyushins were crashing about once a week.

How would you feel if you were walking out on the tarmac to board your plane, only to be told to go back to the airport and notice "mechanics" banging on an a component on one of the engines with a hammer.

You were not there dick head.

FAST

ONE OF THE pilots of the Germanwings flight that crashed in the French Alps Tuesday morning was locked out of the cockpit as the plane went down, The New York Times reports. According to an investigator with evidence from the recovered cockpit voice recorder, the pilots’ conversation early in the flight was natural, and eventually one stepped out of the cockpit, then couldn’t get back in.

“The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer,” the investigator told the Times. “And then he hits the door stronger and no answer. There is never an answer.”

“You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.”

Al-Qaeda suicide pilot and I'm not joking.

That's bizarre. A few years ago an Egyptian airliner went down while the pilot shouted Allah Akbar. Hopefully this one wasn't a suicide as well.
 
What's with the sudden insurgence of plane accidents/disappearances? Anyone else not travelling until they invent teleportation devices?

Have you ever seen how many safe take-offs and landings there are around the world each year? Compare how may people die in plane crashes each year to how many die in car accidents. Obviously there's more people travelling by car but your chances of dying in a plane crash pales by comparison the the likelihood that you will die in a car crash!

Know anyone who's died in a plane crash? Know anyone who's died in a car crash? Planes safe, cars not so much!

I was surprised when it looked like a technical failure initially (suspicions were around decompression). The plane was quite old, but it was maintained by Lufthansa Teknik. No one is better then them in the MRO business.
 
This German plane (and the Malaysian airplanes) were all hacked. We're being lied to:

Wow, intentional suicidal\homicidal act by the copilot taking 149 innocents with him after the Captain left the cockpit to use the bathroom. Voice recorder reveals Captain desperately banging on the door and passenger screams in the final seconds before the crash. No indication of terrorist motivation for the 28 yr old copilot.
When I first heard this this morning it was with a sense of utter disbelief. How the Hell do you become so screwed up that you murder 149 people including infants and secondary school students. It doesn't appear to have been political or religious but plain old homicidal/suicidal mania.
 
This is becoming a major concern and we should stop political correctness and use every type of profiling for everyones safety.

This is a scary thought but it could have been worse. The co-pilot could have crashed the plane into an office/apartment building. Surprised to learn that Luthansa doesn't have a "two person cockpit" rule, like the Americans.

The two person rule is a surprise but it is a European airline rule and not Lufthansa individually. I wouldn't be surprised if that changes now.

Here is another scary thought. Lufthansa doesn't know why the co-pilot crashed the plane. Shouldn't they ground all flights until they know why? Maybe there are more nut cases flying their planes (Lufthansa doesn't test for mental stability).
 
According to CNN, they are doing a complete check on the co-pilot's background. For example, he is from Germany and trained in Phoenix. (The 9/11 hijackers came from Germany and trained in Phoenix.)

P.S. Apparently, the French (and Germans?) are asking the American NSA for all records they have of Lubitz's communications with family, friends, enemies, co-workers, etc. Ed Snowden will be pissed.

P.S. 2: CNN is broadcasting a lot of info on how to get into the cockpit, secret passwords, etc.
